Samantha Wingo

Hello, I am Samantha Wingo but you can call me Sam. I understand the struggles of life and mental health from a professional and personal perspective. Having lived through my own challenges, I've worked hard to transform my life. Through perseverance and dedication, I obtained a Master's of Science in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University.

I began my career working with individuals both adolescent and adults battling addiction for three years, before transitioning into mental health working through each licensure until becoming independently licensed.

Throughout my career, I have had the privledge of working with a wide range of individuals, ages 13 to 65, across various mental health disorders, including ADHD, relationship issues, anxiety, and mood disorders. My work spans a variety of settings and have worked extensively with the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring an inclusive, affirming approach for all clients.

More recently, my focus has been with family and relationship therapy, understanding how interconnected our mental and relational health are. I also have a special focus on supporting healthcare workers, as I know the unique challenges we face in the field and the importance of having a healthy outlet to process those stressors.

We all experience difficult times in life. I take a warm but direct and empowering solution-focused approach to help you take charge of your life to address, process, and make change. I recognize that everyone's journey is different and provide a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate stance, meeting you where you are. You want to see changes and with taking a solution-focused and results driven approach we are able to identify clear practical steps to address whatever concern has you here, helping you to find the tools to move forward and feel empowered.

In your first and second sessions, we will work together to obtain background information and identify concerns that have been present and identify any symptoms you have been experiencing. I will obtain necessary information to make appropriate diagnoses. We will use this first session to get to know each other and discuss any pertinent information. We will then use this information to help us to develop a plan to work through and address the issues/concerns. Clients can expect to walk away from our sessions feeling heard, empowered, and equipped with actionable insights.
